WATERFORD, Wis.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Michael Rasmussen, the foremost authority on risk and compliance issues and trends, today announced the launch of Corporate Integrity, LLC. As Rasmussen’s first entrepreneurial endeavor, Corporate Integrity will advise clients on corporate operational strategies and technologies relating to the ever-changing demands of corporate governance risk management, and compliance (GRC). Clients employing services ranging from research to in-depth consulting will benefit from Rasmussen’s 15+ years of experience dissecting the broad and niche impact of standards, frameworks, regulations, legislation, and supporting technology and services.
The company also announced today its first advisory client as Axentis, provider of one of the industry’s most comprehensive and widely deployed GRC management solution.
“As Michael has been instrumental in shaping GRC in his role as an industry analyst and through the Open Compliance and Ethics Group, I cannot think of a more qualified person with whom to establish a strategic partnership,” said Roger Bottum, vice president of marketing and product management at Axentis. “I look forward to jointly promoting sustainable and transparent GRC.”
Corporate Integrity serves many professional roles that comprise GRC, including governance, risk, compliance, ethics, corporate social responsibility, legal, audit, finance, IT and line of business. The consultancy will offer its customers a number of services, including:
- Educating and collaborating with GRC professionals to identify, understand, and analyze GRC strategies, drivers, trends, and best practices
- Working with technology and solution providers to align their products to meet the needs and requirements of GRC professionals
- Advising professional service firms on their portfolio of GRC service offerings so they are better equipped to consult and define GRC processes for their respective clients.
“I have had the pleasure of working with Michael as a member of both the Steering Committee and the Technology Council of the Open Compliance and Ethics Group (OCEG),” said Scott Mitchell, chairman and CEO of OCEG, the only nonprofit offering comprehensive guidance, standards, benchmarks and tools for integrating GRC processes. “Michael has been vital in the group’s development and has offered OCEG and its members much insight and expertise to establish an efficient and transparent GRC framework for the industry. Organizations will be fortunate to have Michael contribute his experiences and insight as they develop or establish their own GRC practices.”
